Description

Incredible Old Timers Signed Baseball with Mantle, DiMaggio,
Maris & More from the Casey Stengel Collection. If you
consider yourself a Yankees fan and yet still don't bid upon this
rare jewel of a baseball, turn in your pinstripes, hop on the "7"
train and head to Shea instead. One of the greatest congregations
of Yankees Hall of Famers appear on this Official Little League
ball, as well as some of the greatest stars never fortunate enough
to call the Bronx home. The ball was apparently intended as a gift
from Stengel, as a side panel inscription in his hand reads, "To
Greg, Old Timers Day, St. Louis 7/9/72, Casey Stengel." Thankfully,
Greg never got his hands on this special sphere, leaving one lucky
Heritage bidder to take his place. Just below Stengel's signature
is that of Roger Maris, while fellow Yankee sluggers DiMaggio and
Mantle share the sweet spot. A list of the balance of
Cooperstonians: Slaughter, Hafey, Gomez, Musial, Mize, Henrich,
Schoendienst, Medwick, Paige, Ruffing, Marquard, Dean and Dickey.
That's sixteen Hall of Famers total! All twenty-three signatures
rate a fabulous 9/10 or better, and the ball is toned an even,
moderate shade. The ball has been encapsulated in a special PSA
ball cube with a "Stengel Collection" label. A full PSA/DNA letter
of authenticity attesting to the Stengel provenance is included as
well.
